CECT WRIST RIGHT

The wrist is the second most complicated and commonly used joint in our body. We use our wrist tens of times each day for a wide range of tasks such as typing at a computer, writing, lifting things and playing sports. The structure of the wrist is quite complicated; it has several bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, blood vessels and nerves, making it difficult to diagnose a wrist problem. The CECT (Cephalocervical Enhanced Contrast Tomogram) of the right wrist is one of the best ways to evaluate a wrist problem because of its complexity.

At City Imaging, CECT of the right wrist is performed with the most advanced CT technology available, used in conjunction with a contrast agent to create a highly detailed image of the structures of the wrist. Using the contrast enhancement provided by CECT, physicians can evaluate wrist injuries, infections, tumours, inflammatory conditions, and vascular abnormalities with an extraordinary level of accuracy and detail. The cost of a CECT of the right wrist in India is between 3,000 and 8,000 rupees.

If you have pain in your wrist that has not gone away on its own, or if you have sustained an injury to your wrist, or you need an accurate image of specific structures of your wrist before having surgery then CECT of the right wrist is one of the most valuable pieces of information to assist you in obtaining an accurate diagnosis and planning your treatment.

What is a CECT Right Wrist?

CECT stands for Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography. This means that you will be having x-rays and computer generated images taken of the cross-section of your right wrist in detail. A Contrast Enhanced CT requires an injection of a contrast agent (usually into your arm) which is different from a standard CT.

The contrast agent is carried by the blood and highlights areas of blood vessels, soft tissue, inflammation and abnormal growths in the body. The presence of the contrast agent helps the radiologist to see a clearer picture of the structure of the wrist and to distinguish between the various structures in the wrist.

The right wrist contains:

• Eight carpal bones
• Distal radius and ulna
• Numerous ligaments
• Tendons and muscles
• Blood vessels
• Nerves
• Joint spaces
